Who is Sequoia Blodgett? Well if you dont know by now, she is one of the smartest and
most intellectual person I have ever met. A former dancer turned music director, Sequoia B is now an Entrepreneur in Residence on the ABC Family reality show Startup U http://abcfamily.go.com/shows/startup-u . On the show she mentors young entrepreneurs that attend Draper University in Silicon Valley.
In a recent interview with the TV personality star she shared her knowledge and past experiences with myself and other journalist. Sequioa started out as a video music director where she shot music videos for numerous artist. She also went to Loyola Marymount University where she recieved her Bachelors Degree in Film and Television. During that time she worked as an intern at Capital Records. Sequoia worked under Eric White who was the film director for the movie Lottery Ticket, where she gained more directing experience.
Last year after being really sick in the hospital Sequoia had a life altering moment where she thought that if she was to leave this earth, would she be happy with just doing visuals for artist. She came to the conclusion that the answer was "no" and since she has always been passionate about helping others, she decided to venture out and become a life coach. She reached out to a friend, life coach Tony Robbins and studied more about personal development, she then started her own personal devolopment business "7AM" https://7am.life .
Sequoia Blodgett later put in an application for Draper University where she was accepted and recieved a partial scholarship for their entrepreneural program. She later received an angel investment from Tim Draper who invested in her business "7 AM" which she continues to grow. Sequoia is currently an Entrepuneur in residence at Draper University and can be seen weekly on the reality show Startup U. Tune in for the Season Finale, Thursday October 15 at 5pm EST on the ABC Family Channel.
